"Even though the market is in a good place for investors, not every rental property offers the same earning potential. For example, properties located in low-income areas may not be able to bring in as much rent as a similar property located in an area with a higher average income. When deciding whether to invest in a rental property, consider these characteristics:

• Price - Is the property affordable? Will you buy it outright or finance it with a mortgage?• Renovation required – Does the property need any work before it will be ready for tenants? How much will the work cost and how long will it take you to recover the cost in rent? How will you pay for the renovation?• Maintenance - Will the property require a lot of maintenance? How much will the maintenance costs reduce your profits?• Location - Is the property located in an area with a strong rental market? What is the average rent for a property of that size? How much profit can you earn?• Vacancy issues – Are there a lot of rental vacancies in the area? Will you be able to afford to maintain the property if it remains vacant for an extended period of time?"
